Paper Number: 3552 Structural Development of the Potchefstroom Thrust and Fault System, Witwatersrand Basin, South Africa Matt Terracin1, Musa S Paper Number: 3552 Structural Development of the Potchefstroom Thrust and Fault System, Witwatersrand Basin, South Africa Matt Terracin1, Musa S. D. Manzi1, Kim A. A. Hein1 1 University of the Witwatersrand Johannesburg, PBag 3, 1 Empire Street, WITS 2050, Gauteng Email [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Although the Witwatersrand Basin (Wits) has been researched for well over 100 years, very little is known about the subsurface structures within the basin outside of the mining areas [1]. This project examines a set of 2D reflection seismic data acquired by Anglo Gold Ashanti Ltd. as part of the exploration of the Wits from 1986 to 1993. This project focuses on the area around the city of Potchefstroom Known as the Potchefstroom Gap. Within this area the gold bearing reefs of the Witwatersrand and Ventersdorp supergroups are poorly developed or inconsistently present along strike. Truter (1936) proposed a westerly verging thrust/fault based on stratigraphic relationships to account for the loss of ground [2]. However, after 80 years of exploration no cohesive model has been developed for the sporadic presence of well mineralized reefs encountered during drilling. We herein present the first full structural and developmental model for this region that integrates surface, subsurface and drilling data. This new model revises previous structural interpretations by demonstrating that the Potchefstroom thrust/fault does not exist and illustrates the gap is the result of the complex interaction between three major Neoarchean to Paleoproterozoic structures (Fig 1), consisting of 2 south-easterly verging thrusts, and a normal fault downthrown to the south-east. This has resulted in the complete removal of the Central Rand Group west of the normal fault and only partial deposition of the Ventersdorp Supergroup between the thrusts. Also, structures exposed at surface within the Transvaal lithologies may represent a structurally separate system with only sympathetic relationships to the underlying Witwatersrand and Ventersdorp aged structures.

MORGENTHAL and S.S. CILLIERS Terblanche, R.F., T.L. Morgenthal and S.S. Cilliers. 2003. The vegetation of three local- ities of the threatened butterfly species Chrysoritis aureus (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae). Koedoe 46(1): 73–90. Pretoria. ISSN 0075-6458. The vegetation and habitat characteristics of three localities of Chrysoritis aureus at the Alice Glockner Nature Reserve, Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve and Malanskraal farm near Heidelberg in South Africa, were compared. A numerical classification technique, TWINSPAN, was used and refined by using Braun Blanquet procedures to classify the vegetation at the different localities. A DCA ordination was applied to confirm the results of the classification. Although the general vegetation structure at the three habi- tats of Chrysoritis aureus were found to be similar, marked differences in the floristic composition were evidenced. A different sub-community, compared to the vegetation at Suikerbosrand and Alice Glockner Nature Reserve, was recorded at the Malanskraal habitat of Chrysoritis aureus. These differences in floristic composition, but with simi- larities in vegetation structure, indicate the possible importance of fire for the ultimate survival of these butterflies in the Rocky Highveld Grassland. The host plant of Chrysoritis aureus, Clutia pulchella, collected at Malanskraal differed markedly and consistently in their morphology, compared to the individuals from the habitats at Suikerbosrand and Alice Glockner Nature Reserve. These differences in the floristic composition of one of the habitats compared to the others, raise research questions con- cerning the butterfly metapopulation structure, since the subpopulations seem to be adapted to slightly different habitat conditions.

    THE FINAL RESETTLEMENT OF THE BAKWENA BA GA MOLOPYANE AT TSETSE-- , BY DAVIS YUMBA MINI-THESIS Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY IN THE FACULTY OF ARTS AT THE RAND AFRIKAANS UNIVERSITY SUPERVISOR : PROF G. VERHOEF MAY 1997 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A big thank you to the following people and institutions who made it possible for me to compile and write this mini-thesis; Professor G. Verhoef my supervisof4 for her wonderful.guidance, officials of the Rand Afrikaans University Library. officials of the State Archives in Pretoria, and officials of the Office of - Traditional Affairs in the North West Province Government. Special thanks to the former Acting Chief of the Bakwena Ba Ga Molopyane, Mr Melea Malefo and the tribesmen, Mpho Tire of Agricor-Statistical Data Centre, Mr Rasweswe, Mr Monoketsi, the Animal Health Officer of the Ramatlabama Area, David "Disha" Morupisi and Peter Tlome who accompanied me when visiting Potchefstroom, Ventersdorp and Mafikeng. SUMMARY The problem on which the study focuses is how the Bakwena Ba Ga Molopyane were affected by resettlement. It also. focuses on the reasons for the removal of the Bakwena from Uitkyk in 1931 and Doornkop in 1978;: . Attention is paid to the economic position of the tribe at the two farms. The study concentrates on the question of compensatory land, negative effects on the ability of the tribe as farmers, lack of employment opportunities, loss of livelihood and the state of despondency as a result of resettlement. Intensive primary research was conducted. Interviews were conducted in Tsetse in May 1995.

  • A Report by Justice Mtr Mogoeng
    A REPORT BY JUSTICE MTR MOGOENG POTCHEFSTROOM REMAND DETENTION FACILITY INTRODUCTION My clerks, Michael Dafel, Lydia Du Rant, Jonathan Parsonage, and I visited the Potchefstroom Remand Detention Facility (also referred to as the Potchefstroom Correctional Centre) in the North-West Province on 8 June 2011. We were welcomed by Mr Tshabalala, the head of the facility, and his management team including Mr Ngakame, the centre coordinator for the well- being of, and programmes for, the inmates, Mr Shangi, the head of security and Mr Jacobs, the head of the internal case management committee, whose functions include parole management. During the visit, we were accompanied by the sub-cluster Head, Desmond Humple, the Senior Magistrate of the Potchefstroom Magistrates’ Court. We were informed that Mr Humple does visit the correctional centre on a regular basis; and his visits have not been as regular in the past couple of years. Mr Humple noted that he has a good relationship with the management of the correctional facility, especially in terms of case flow management issues. He suggested that it should become a requirement for all magistrates to visit correctional centres based on the example being set by the Judges of the Constitutional Court. THE CENTRE The correctional centre was opened in 1978 and was commissioned to serve medium security offenders. However, today it also accommodates maximum security offenders and awaiting trial detainees, who form the majority of the inmates, are treated as maximum security offenders. The centre is located on a 45 hectare piece of land of which 15 hectares is agricultural land.
